Essential Eye Kit Review

What It Is

A set of five mini eye-shadow brushes in a compact case

Sonia Kashuk Tools Essential Eye Kit Review

HOW IT LOOKS/FEELS:

The black, mirrored case is roughly the size of an iPhone and holds five tiny brushes (each with its own labeled compartment): a fluffy shadow brush, a stiff smudge brush, a slanted liner brush, a curved blending brush, and a pointed crease brush. All are made with goat- and pony-hair bristles.

WHY WE LIKE IT:

All the tools for banging out an awesome smoky eye—minus the shadow. These downsized brushes pick up a healthy amount of pigment and blend, smudge, and line just as well as a full-size set. We're suckers for anything pint-size. Plus, they're great for travel.
